Error! Garbage symbols in the name are found. Check the name.

"Error! Garbage symbols in the name are found. Check the name" - This message implies that the selected table cannot be converted properly because some garbage symbols are found in the table name. There are some special symbols which are required not to be used as they are the symbols reserved for MySQL internal purposes. So you need to rename the table.

Example: When clicking at "Fields Binary" we've got this message "Error! Garbage symbols in the name are found. Check the name". We can resolve the case in two ways:

     1. You can rename the table manually in "Destination name" edit box (located in the Table options group in the right panel). You need to delete unwanted symbols or replace them with "_".

     2. You can automatically replace all garbage symbols. Click at the database name in the left panel (in our example we click DestinationBase.mdb). Database Options appear in the right panel where you enter all special symbols, for example "'"\:/*<> -+" in the field "Garbage symbols to replace/remove".

After pressing "Replace all" button you will get a message where you will be offered to choose a correct name. You can confirm the offered name by clicking on "OK" button. If you click "Apply All" all the unwanted symbols will be automatically replaced with the symbol entered in the "Replace with" field. In case you click "Cancel" the name will stay untouched.

Finally the database objects that were previously marked red won't cause any problems.
